My condolences, Carol and thank you so much for taking the time to let us know.

Maybe more than many of you would even know, this community was guided and guarded by Pat, very quietly in the background, but she was always there, always kind, always helpful and seeing the good in every single member. I am very sad that I never got the chance to meet her in person myself - and yet I feel I have actually known her quite well over all those years ...

It is such a devastating thought that she won't be around here anymore - but then again, she always will be, as all of us who had the priviledge to be in touch with her will never forget her...

Carol - if you still read this and there is anything this community can do to help and support you, family and friends in this difficult time, please do not hesitate to ask!

I just read about it on Laraslevelbase. I am truly sorry for your loss, Carol.

Pat and I first got in touch when I joined the New Tribune blog team in 2008. Over the years, she has proofread more than a hundred of my translations for that blog. Her tireless suggestions have certainly had impact on my level of English. She was someone you could count on in every Advent Calendar project since 2012, too. The custom levels she built are fun to play, but her support went well beyond custom levels. Even though these few weeks before Christmas could get very stressy, for instance, Pat's always had some reassuring words and positive feedback to offer. Similarly, she knew how to gather ideas and inspire the teams of the past Back to Basics projects. It's sad to hear she has passed away. Although we've only ever met online, I've known Pat as a very creative, very kind and giving person. I'll sure miss her.

Mugs was such a lovely, kind and encouraging member of the community. I got to know her through the Lara's Levelbase Tribune, we worked on many articles and have only positive and fond memories of Mugs.

So sorry for your (and our all) loss, Carol, and thank you so much for letting us know.

I'm shocked. I cant imagine trle.net without mugs... She was the Queen of this place, kind, sweet, helpful... No more Btb bird... No more xmas lvls... I can't stand this. Condolences for the family and a huge loss for the entire TR community.
I have never met mugs personally, but I am glad I knew Her. I'll never forget Her.
Rest in Peace Dear Angel.

I know not everyone will be understanding of why but the entire community, I think, would be very grateful for a few words. Not that they'd explain something unexplainable but still...
Very honestly, I'd be totally relieved and forgiving if mugs had, for whatever reason, faked her own death. Not that I'm expecting anything like that, of course.

Another possibility is that Pat is incapacitated and that someone is using her account to play games with us. I hate that I'm having such thoughts. But the recent visit here, and the fact that there still is no posted obituary, is starting to make me suspicious.
